@>The heat in Baltimore and vicinity on Sat-
urday, Sunday and Monday last was the most in
tense experienced in many years and caused
great deal of suffering. The thermometer went
up to 1O4 in the shade, which was the highest
point reached since September, 1881. In Balti-
more great many persons we're prOstrated by the
heat and several deaths occurred. The heat wave
of July, 1887. will long be remembered as one of
extraordinary severity, extending as it did all
over the country.

much split up and up to this time there is nothing
tangible to figure on. The dark horse may be

cool OF the morning, women and chill
dren, as we'll as the men, exercised on
their feet beside the moving train of
wagons, but when the sun beat hot
upon the trail all took to the shelter of
the wagon covers. Even the drivers,
| who had been stalking kimberly along,
edged in between the oxen's heels and
the wagons, and rested by sitting side
wise on the WagOn-tongues. Silent.
dusty and in lazy lethargy, the train
creaked ahead with now and then a
drawledOut Cit up thar" from one
driver or another as he swung his long
whip perfunctorily toward the medi-
tatiye beasts. The approach to brook
was marked by wonderful activity, and
pots, cups, cans and kegs were seen in
the hands of the running crowd that
poured from the wagons. The colonel
waxed poetic when he told of the feel
ings of these homeless wanderers, as
they gathered round the water and
quatfed it with the Zest that came of
great uncertainty where the next brook
would be met; but we cannot follow his
flights.
Tremendous thunderstorms, that
seemed to battle the prairie in sheets of
Jagged flame, burst on the travellers, and
amid the roar, the rush of wind and
floods of rain and hail the boys and even
the women had to guard the frightened
beasts and keep them from stampeding.
And then the sickness on the journey
ali that must have been dreadful; to lie
in jolting car crazy with fever while
the sun beat on the thin canvas overhead
with tropic glare and heat. Though this
narrator seemed to have escaped the !
worst incidents, there were others who |
told of deaths on the journey and of the

whom the message was specially ad-
dressed. An Indian signal fire seen on
the descent from the Rockies so i'm
pressed the train of which the colonel
was member that no one except one
woman ventured to speak about it. 1t
had been understood that the Snake In

feelings of the pioneers in such extremi-

and deep for utterance. In this case

Paul B. Du Chaillu. Some of the huts
have stone walls; then the thatch is cut
shorter
When the conquerors were no longer
satisfied with that sort of dwelling, they
destroyed some large stone mounds that
surrounded what is now the central
! square, called Plaza de Ia In0ependencaa,
and used the stones to build their city,
commencing on the same spot. The first
house constructed under Montejo's
direction is on the south side of the
square, yet in good condition, because
Senior Don Jose Maria Peon, the present
owner, takes great pride in it, has
the facade kept clean, and all nee
essary repairs made. On a stone in
the facade are inscribed these
words in Spanish: The AdeIantado Don
Francisco 4Nontejo caused tbss to be made in
the gear 1549. The historian, Father Co.
golludo, in his interesting History of
1ucatan," book iv, chapter X, page 205,
says that the facade alone cost $4,000
Prominent among the elaborate orna-
ments are Spaniards stamping upon de-
capitated heads of Indians. The Span
iards are in full arnor, while the Indians
are represented with tears streaming
down their cheeks. Alas! that this
should be even yet symbolcal of the So
cial condition of the poor Indian, though
a free Mexican citizen!
The Montejo building is curious COM
bination of Spanish and Indian art The
invaders designed, the vanquished did
the work, and many of the signs and fig
ures are emblems of mythology and su-
perstition. The structure is a little mar
rover at the top than at the base. At
the very top, above tablet held by two
lions, is face, said to be intended for
the adelantado himself, and we see
similar face just below the middle of the
cornice under the tablet. Not far from
this second face, on either side of it, are
others, the son and daughter of the same
gentleman. Beneath are the warriors
mentioned, and between them the Span
ish royal coat-of -arms-Ercsanae.
